Hogan, Bubba, and Gawker: What Really Happened? · Tigs Bits Podcast

0:04
What happened today? We had a whole other plan and
0:08
then you texted me this morning. It's like.
0:10
You're going to want to. Watch this And I did.
0:12
I jumped in it. We know it's new for you, Jr.
0:15
The beautiful thing it's still a lot of this is going to be new
0:19
for me too. It's.
0:21
I can't wait to form my own opinion like everyone else
0:23
listening, yeah. Exactly.
0:26
So I'm going to shut up and listen.
0:27
Blossy, you have the floor, Sir. Oh, man, yeah.
0:31
So it's funny that this morning I was, I was getting ready and,
0:34
you know, I actually had a really busy day.
0:36
I had to get out and go over Pensacola, do some work and
0:38
stuff. So I'm in there, I'm, you know,
0:40
shower and getting ready and it literally like 8O58O6 and I'm I
0:45
needed to be out the door. About 745 was my goal and I've
0:48
already a few few minutes late, but then suddenly Bubba goes
0:52
into guys, when we come back from the segment, I've got
0:55
something that you've heard before, you've heard the audio,
0:58
but I finally found the video of this and I really want to just
1:02
dive into this a little bit more and talk about how important it
1:05
is. And it's the sit down interview
1:09
that Hogan did in April of 2013 with Mike Kalta when him and
1:15
Bubba had been six months since the sex tape.
1:17
Sex tape had dropped and him and Bubba were on the outs and Hogan
1:21
felt like you need to get back on the air.
1:23
So Bubba's still working for the bone.
1:26
He hadn't he hadn't been fired yet.
1:28
This is April, April 2013, and Kalta had the afternoon show
1:34
going still, right? And so he comes in on that show.
1:37
So in order to set this deal up, let's let's just, but before we
1:41
get into that interview and the interview is what you saw, you
1:44
watch some of that today, Brantley where they talk.
1:45
He was just breaking down the interview and what Hogan was
1:48
doing and what Kalta did and Kalta's response.
1:51
I mean, the interview it said you could just stay in that, you
1:54
know, 41 second conversation or whatever it was, you know, like
1:57
just listen to a small piece of that tells you so much.
1:59
But I want to I want to go to something else here.
2:02
Let's let's back up to how we got here, right?
2:05
So just kind of resetting some timelines and made me think
2:08
about something I'd never thought about before today and
2:10
kind of started diving into it. All right.
2:12
So if we go back to September the 27th, 2012, that is when
2:19
Mike Kalta sent Tony Burton an e-mail asking him anything yet
2:26
and he sent a response back. And then finally that same day,
2:30
like an hour later, he said where is the, you know, the
2:34
Gawker deal? And he sent him Gawker's
2:36
address. So they sent a correspondent
2:38
e-mail really quickly. He gets the address for Gawker
2:42
so he can mail something to him and obviously, right, that's why
2:45
I get a mailing address. And then October 4th, 7 days
2:50
later, seven days later, is when AJ Delirio, the publisher at
2:55
Gawker, released that 2 minute excerpt of the sex tape of
2:59
Hogan. Now, keep in mind, there's a 30
3:01
minute tape here in total, right?
3:03
But this was just two minutes of sex tape.
3:05
There's Hogan, It's out there, right?
3:07
So then, let's Fast forward. Yeah, yeah.
3:13
I mean time, time out, time out is so it's and I've never known
3:16
this. Yeah, I didn't.
3:17
Either it's 30 minutes. There's 30 minutes of total of
3:21
Total Film there. Yep, total total.
3:23
Banging as well. Yeah, well, it's more than that.
3:25
It's a lot of conversation. It keeps rolling.
3:28
That's where that's what really got Hogan in big trouble, is the
3:30
conversation. Not as much as sex tape.
3:33
The sex tape is what's famous, but the things he said that, you
3:37
know, he used some racial slurs there later on.
3:40
And none of this came out to begin with.
3:42
Absolutely. Yeah.
3:44
And none And none of this came out then.
3:46
Like, what came out then was just a 2 minute sex tape.
3:48
Boom. That's it.
3:50
So now let's Fast forward literally a week later.
3:54
It was, you know, So after that sex tape had been had had had
3:59
gone out, Hogan's attorney, David Houston, he received 2
4:04
correspondence within like a day or two apart.
4:07
This is around October the 10th. So now we're six days away.
4:11
And one was from an attorney representing, what's his name,
4:18
Pete. Peter Thiel.
4:21
The guy. Peter Thiel.
4:22
Yeah, yeah, yeah. See your PayPal.
4:24
Yep. So it's his attorney.
4:26
Yeah, exactly. He's the guy that backed Hogan.
4:28
And because he got so mad at Gawker, he hated Gawker so much,
4:30
he funded Hogan's, the whole lawsuit.
4:33
He was like, I'll pay for every bit of this.
4:34
I want to see him go down. So he paid for all that.
4:37
So that was what this phone call was about.
4:39
It's when Charles, I think his name's Charles Harder that
4:41
called him who and said, hey, I want to assist you with this
4:44
trial. So he gets that call, but then
4:46
he also gets this cryptic e-mail from good old buddy Keith
4:51
Davidson. It says, you know, subject Hulk
4:54
Hogan tape and it says please call me regarding above.
4:57
And that's all he said, right? So then he came in, they called
5:02
him and, and sure enough, Keith Davidson claimed that, you know,
5:06
he represented the parties that had the actual tape and that
5:10
what had been leaked to Gawker, it's just like a small little
5:13
sample and the real bad stuff will become later.
5:18
And you know, basically, said Davidson.
5:20
Guy let me. Interrupt.
5:21
Davidson is the attorney right that actually helped broker the
5:25
deal. Was trying to broker.
5:27
He was trying to extort Hogan. So he, he's a, he's an attorney,
5:30
though. Yeah, he's an attorney, but he's
5:32
the same guy that represented Stormy Daniels.
5:34
All he does is go around and take, take people down.
5:37
Somebody who's got a family or whatever and he's a politician
5:40
or high, high-ranking official in the city that's gay.
5:42
He'll go figure out he's gay and then take him down and go, hey,
5:45
you going to pay me $2,000,000 or I'm going to tell your wife
5:48
about this, right? So that's he, he's a real
5:50
upstanding kind of guy. So piece.
5:52
Of. Shit.
5:53
Oh yeah. Oh, absolutely.
5:54
Was so so anyway, so he so he shares this information so hey,
5:59
I'm representing people and he's representing to come to find out
6:02
is Matthew Lloyd spice boy, you know, and who works with Mike
6:08
Kalta, right. So there that's his boy so
6:10
that's the one arm reach. He's already sent the e-mail
6:13
Kalta Kalta's the one that asked for the address.
6:16
Somebody shipped it. Now he's got he's out there
6:18
peddling this whole deal off so so I want to look at something
6:22
here. Oh yeah.
6:23
So, yeah, so. So anyway, so he starts the
6:28
negotiations at $1 million and they're like, OK, whatever.
6:32
And then we move into December, right?
6:34
So this is in October, the 10th December.
6:36
They set up a sting operation with the FBI.
6:39
Hogan, he reports it. I'm being, you know, somebody's
6:41
trying to extort me. They go to the Pearl Hotel.
6:45
And this is in December 2012. And during that operation, Keith
6:48
Davidson was there along with Lori Burbage, who was
6:51
representing Matthew Lloyd. This is all public.
6:55
This is all public record. This isn't just like hearsay or
6:58
anything. This is all FBI.
6:59
There's even words and they. We've covered some of this in
7:02
the past 2. Years, yes, and they had already
7:04
negotiated an agreement, even had a written agreement out
7:07
between two fake names just to keep everything hidden for
7:10
$300,000. That was the number that they
7:12
end up landing on. That's how they got them to meet
7:13
there to try to finish this deal.
7:15
But the FBI was there. So while they're there they
7:19
ended up detaining them all. So they all three. 100 grand.
7:23
It is a lot of work for 300 grand, but but they detain them
7:28
all and and the and he admits that the Gawker sex tape from
7:34
his client is just a pressure tactic.
7:36
You know, so he says that there's an audio from the FBI
7:39
has it him saying it for me. If you read the transcripts that
7:41
that was sent to Gawker as a teaser so they could really go
7:45
after Hogan to really make some money.
7:47
The whole thing was at work, right?
7:48
You know, I mean, the whole thing was at work to try to get
7:50
to Hogan. So it comes right all the way
7:51
back to, you know, them trying to get the money.
7:54
Well, at the time, so this is in December at the time, nobody
8:00
knows. After they detain them, they
8:02
arrest them, then they don't charge them.
8:04
That's what's that's the bizarre part, right?
8:05
So you've got, you've already proven extortion.
8:08
Why they didn't charge them, I have no idea.
8:10
Which that came up later in the Trump trial.
8:12
Who does Keith David Davidson actually work for now?
8:15
Is he, is he paid for, right? Is he paid for?
8:17
Because they let him go? They had him dead to rights.
8:22
So here's to me. I'm going to go ahead and break
8:23
down a timeline. So we hadn't even got to where
8:26
Hogan in April sits down with Mike Calta.
8:30
But see, I always thought that they tried to shop the tape.
8:34
They couldn't shop the tape. Then they gave it to Calta, who
8:38
then sent it to Gawker and then Gawker published it just because
8:42
it couldn't do anything with it. It had no value.
8:43
Even Bubba kind of says that, but they sent it to Gawker
8:48
before they even tried to shop it.
8:51
So it's like a kind of a reverse deal.
8:53
I and see, I missed that somewhere along the way.
8:55
I thought it was a different order.
8:56
And it kind of sounds like even when I hear Bubba say it, that's
8:58
what it sounds like. It's like they tried to they
9:01
tried to shop it, they didn't do it.
9:02
They didn't press charges. And then later on it was after
9:05
that fact is when actually Gawker got it.
9:08
But the question is how much did Gawker have to begin with?
9:11
Do they have the entire tape? Because 2 1/2 years later is
9:15
when the racist stuff drops. Like they held on that forever.
9:19
Somebody did. I think The Enquirer actually
9:21
dropped it. But but the timeline on that was
9:24
a little different than what I thought it was.
9:26
And I find it very interesting. And it, it not only ties to me,
9:31
it, it only ties Mike Calta to sending it to Gawker, which is
9:36
very obvious, but it also ties him to the first part of that,
9:39
which was trying to broker that deal for the money, which he
9:42
wasn't tied to directly. It was his little pawn, you
9:46
know, Matthew Lloyd, Spice Boy, which we all kind of thought
9:50
that, but it he had. But now he was involved even
9:52
before that brokerage deal took place.
9:54
He was involved early, it's back to September 27th and this thing
9:58
happened in December. So he was involved way early in
10:01
the process. So I just found that very
10:03
interesting. Just when when you get there.
10:05
So now we Fast forward to the the real deal, which was that
10:10
interview where the first time when Hogan went into Calta in
10:14
April of 2013, he goes on Calta show.
10:19
And so that's the one, that's what Bubba broke down this
10:21
morning was that tape, because now it's actually a videotape
10:23
and it's that, and he's talking about it.
10:26
And it's interesting, you know, he starts off Jr.
10:30
Have you seen this at all, Jr. Not yet, no.
10:33
I've got it. You want to you want to check it
10:35
out? Absolutely.
10:36
Let's play that, that, let's play that, that that little
10:38
excerpt, yes, let's play. I don't know if it's the full
10:41
excerpt. I mean, just the one.
10:43
Definitely the full excerpt, but it's going to probably be this
10:46
is going to be Bubba's response as well.
10:50
Bubba kind of sets this up a little bit, they believe.
10:53
Yeah, let's, let's do this. Let's just let it play.
10:55
But when you're facing the guy that you practically ruined his
11:00
life and you were posturing with your corporation to take my job
11:08
based on my involvement in this tape, when at that time Cox
11:13
corporate had no idea that you actually had done it.
11:17
I got to think that that's a lot of guilt and ready to short
11:22
circuit in your little head at any time that it's almost
11:26
information overload. Here's what I found.
11:29
Everything I've heard, you know you haven't.
11:32
You've had a plan. Hold on, let me just so.
11:36
Let me just take these three parts.
11:39
Hogan puts over Calta and actually has a dig on me.
11:45
He goes everything I've heard, you know, you've had a plan you
11:48
didn't have to do, but something hits the fan and you've stayed
11:53
true to your game and you're a man's man.
11:57
And so he he's picking a shot at me because, you know, we
12:00
obviously love me had like, you know, poop hits the fan and
12:03
various stunts and gimmicks. That's what we were noted for.
12:07
He takes a shot at me count to melts down.
12:12
And then and then Hogan goes on to say it's nice to have a
12:18
platform in Tampa radio to be able to talk on because all of
12:24
these years I've had that like almost.
12:27
He expects it. Like, almost Hogan expects to
12:30
have this platform and he freaks out that he no longer has that
12:35
platform, that he's willing to go do an interview with the guy
12:39
that actually is behind it all to be able to secure his ability
12:46
to call in on an FM radio station.
12:49
I mean, at nauseam, he used to call in sometimes two or three
12:52
times a day. And Hogan is so full of himself
12:56
and so narcissistic that he puts cow head over.
12:59
He always hated cow head. Puts him over, has a dig on me,
13:05
and then thanks him for potentially giving him an
13:09
opportunity to have to to have a radio platform in his hometown
13:15
that he's had now for 20 plus years.
13:17
I'm going to run it without any eruptions.
13:20
Everything I've heard, you know, you haven't.
13:22
You've had a plan all along and you haven't had to throw crap
13:26
against the fan to, you know, do gimmicks and stuff.
13:28
You've been really consistent, you know, from the line you're
13:31
doing the same to be cow headed on your show a certain way.
13:34
So you've been on point. So I said, man, it'd be great to
13:37
find out, you know, if this. Man.
13:40
Everything I've heard and sit on top of him and it'd really be
13:43
great to have you know, the the the radio voice in town, you
13:47
know, like, you know, would be really consistent to be friends
13:50
with you guys. You've never actually crossed
13:52
the line and did something that was, you know.
13:54
No. And that's the thing.
13:56
I, you know, I, I, what do you consider?
13:58
I mean, I haven't. I might have.
13:59
Crossed them? No.
14:01
I don't. I was.
14:06
I. Was excited about coming in
14:09
today because I appeared to be a breath of fresh air to be on the
14:13
same page and. That's it.
14:15
A good, you know, open, open relationship with the radio
14:19
station and everything. You know, all of a sudden I've
14:21
got, you know, all this crazy stuff going on in town on a
14:23
personal level with business businesses.
14:26
And all of a sudden I don't have this voice on the air, which was
14:28
weird. Yeah, after so many years, so.
14:35
That's great. That's so good.
14:37
He's trying to. He's just making sure he gets
14:39
free advertisement for Hogan's Beach.
14:41
I used to drive by it all the time over there in Clearwater.
14:45
He needed somewhere to get free advertised to pump his, pump his
14:48
show, pump his things up when he had, you know, ladies night or
14:50
whatever. Oh yeah, Oh yeah would have.
14:52
Mercy, that was an awkward conversation.
14:54
First off, Hogan Twitchy. That was not that was not world
14:58
champion Hulk Hogan. How about the the fact so here's
15:03
where you got to realize Hogan's mindset was at the time he knew
15:07
that two things he knew that the sex tape had dropped because he
15:10
saw it and happened in October. Then in December, he was there
15:14
with the FBI sting operation. But what he didn't know is any
15:16
of the players in the game. They the FBI refused to tell him
15:19
about they they called him Mr. X was Matthew Lloyd.
15:22
So he had no idea that council was even was even in arms reach
15:26
distance. Now here is in April, hanging
15:28
out this dude on his show, trying to get some rub, not
15:30
realizing that's the dude that actually sent the stuff to
15:33
Gawker to begin with. And he's on this show right
15:35
there, not even knowing this and getting digs to Bubba.
15:38
So you know, Hogan's kind of innocent at that moment where he
15:41
didn't have a damn clue. He just knows he's out there.
15:43
All he knows is Bubba because nobody's saying a word.
15:45
They keep it all hush hush. Yeah.
15:48
And then you think that you think someone would have been
15:50
arrested if they had all that Intel at some point?
15:52
You would have thought so. So also, who took the tape to
15:58
start with? Who set it up to get it to
16:00
steal? It did.
16:01
Did the cow head guy send somebody to steal it initially
16:05
and they were going to try to profit off of it?
16:07
That is a great question because Matthew Lloyd, Spice Boy, used
16:11
to work for Bubba. He left Bubba and they had a big
16:14
little ceremony. He's going to go do his own
16:16
thing over at the Bone. I mean, over with, you know,
16:18
Couch of the Deal over there, right?
16:20
So he's leaving Bubba show to go to his show and he wished him
16:24
well. And then because he was going to
16:25
get his own little deal on the side and he wished him well.
16:28
It was great. He took the tape when he left.
16:29
He took he took the DVD when he left.
16:31
Where was the tape? How did in Bubba Studio?
16:34
Yes, what the fuck? Did the studio?
16:36
Well, that's another that's. And how did he know it was in
16:39
Bubba? It was in Bubba's desk.
16:40
It was in Bubba's desk. Bubba, I know you're going to
16:43
listen to this and I'm not. Yeah, it had Hogan written on
16:46
it. Hogan written on the DVD.
16:48
These are not smart moves if you're trying if you're trying
16:51
to hide it. It's not smart.
16:53
It's a different world. Back then too, people, I mean.
16:55
It was a different world that to be fair.
16:58
But that was his personal whatever, right?
17:00
That's his personal DVD like. And with that.
17:03
They get, I mean. How mad he gets when somebody
17:05
messes with the thermostat. I'm sure I'm sure no one I'm
17:10
sure no one touched his shit in front of him.
17:12
I'm. Sure.
17:13
Yeah, not since then, Spice. Boy Spice Man might have snuck
17:16
around when him I wasn't looking.
17:18
But it's, I mean, I can see a tape saying Hogan on it and as
17:22
much as Hogan was on the show back then.
17:24
What? But did it say Hogan's sex tape
17:30
on it? Because, I mean, I wouldn't put
17:32
it past anybody on this just because everybody seems to be a
17:35
little too damn honest. I think it just fits.
17:38
I think it just said Hogan on it.
17:39
I think it just said Hogan on the tape.
17:41
So that's all. It's on the DVD.
17:42
Just said Hogan on the DVD. But listen, let's talk about how
17:45
guilty because Mike Counterfield, where he gets so
17:49
discombobulated, so completely, just goes into a Dang meltdown
17:54
when he hears him say, when he looks at him and says, you know
17:57
what? I know you have never crossed
17:58
the line with me because they at that point they didn't like each
18:01
other because he was a Bubba guy and all this and that had a
18:03
little bit of beef already. Hogan never liked him to begin
18:06
with, but now he's in there because they didn't have a
18:08
voice. He's not a Bubba show anymore
18:09
because he didn't like Buba Rice advertisement.
18:11
So I got to I got to get my voice back out here.
18:13
I got I'm Dang Hulk Hogan, you know, so he's there and he says
18:16
that as soon as he says it, man, Kalta just goes into AI wrote it
18:20
down. I actually tried to write there
18:22
as you ready. Here's the transcript that I
18:24
created. I'm sure I could have used AI
18:26
make it easier, but I didn't. I used just a pencil and pad
18:29
here. All right, so he asked me.
18:31
He was like, you know, you and I may have a lot of whatever and
18:33
something going on. He said, I know you would never
18:34
cross the line bubbles and then Kalta goes no, and that's the
18:39
thing. I you know, I what do you
18:44
consider? I mean, I haven't I might have
18:47
crossed the no, I didn't. IEIEI could consider crossing
18:52
the line. You and I could have as much
18:55
beef as we want. I don't.
18:59
I don't. No.
19:01
All right, I'm good. Yeah.
19:06
We're not fighting, I can assure.
19:08
You exactly the transcript if you go back and listen to.
19:10
That hey, I could not transcribe that bumbling asshole morons.
19:17
You feel knowing, like, dude, no, actually just six months
19:21
ago, I'm the one that buried you.
19:22
You don't even know it's what he's thinking is he's sitting
19:24
there. I didn't think we're always
19:25
going to get deep. So now he's getting overload and
19:28
he can't even. Oh yeah.
19:30
Yeah, yeah. He probably thinks that Hogan
19:33
knows. Yeah, because he said you would
19:35
never cross. Him whip his head.
19:38
Oh. Oh, so you don't want to whip my
19:39
ass? Are you?
19:40
OK? Good.
19:41
Are you asking me yeah. Or is that or is that a setup?
19:43
Wow. I mean at the end of the day,
19:46
would you want any part of Hogan?
19:49
Like if your mic out like a physical altercation, If he if
19:54
you're he whip your ass dude. Yes, dude, and he's got.
19:57
Some pretty big friends too. So so they got the tape, they
20:02
leaked a little bit and then they were going to try to
20:04
squeeze money from Hogan. The plan was never to to to bury
20:09
Bubba. They just.
20:12
He was. Bubba was just a bystander that
20:14
got hit by the train coming off the tracks well.
20:17
He allowed the train to come into the station.
20:19
Right, well, the front end and he owned the tape.
20:22
But as far as the transaction and the trying to get money and
20:26
and even the people, I'm I'm more talking about the people
20:28
trying to sell the tape. The whoever had possession was
20:32
trying to extort Hogan to get money to not leak the rest of
20:35
it, which I think they probably did exactly what they said.
20:37
They leaked the first little nibble to bait up.
20:40
So once the baited up they thought he would go for that and
20:46
then tried to do it wouldn't last, let it die down then
20:50
flipped and sold. The found another buyer when
20:52
they put it back on the market and in Inquirer I think he said
20:55
it was another. Yeah, the inquiry that released
20:57
it, I don't know that anybody ever made a penny on this thing,
21:00
right? So nobody liked but.
21:01
Somebody had the Inquirer pay somebody to get it.
21:05
I don't, you know, it's funny. They made.
21:07
Something. Yeah, probably very nominal for
21:09
what they were trying to shop it for to begin with.
21:10
But at some point it got leaked and it came back.
21:12
They, they, they thought Gawker did it because it because that
21:15
tape came back out and and that was released in July 2015.
21:20
It was a way down the road that we're we're in 2012 when this
21:23
thing drops in October. And here we are July 2015.
21:27
You know, I mean, so we're we're we're three years later before
21:31
that, before that, that component drops in there.
21:33
And it's in the middle of this lawsuit that Hogan's got going
21:35
with Gawker already. And then Gawker's like, whoa,
21:38
whoa, whoa, we didn't do that. We that's stupid, You know what
21:40
I mean? But like what's probably not the
21:42
the Inquirer's, the one that took responsibility, but they
21:44
didn't give it to them for what they were saying.
21:45
They didn't hear. Here you go release that, which
21:48
goes right back to goes back to Calta, goes back to Spice Boy
21:52
Lloyd, you know, like it goes back to them being the ones that
21:56
started this whole process. And yes, to answer your
21:58
question, Jr. there was more to gain than just the money and the
22:01
money may have is a side deal. But for for cow head, it was to
22:05
take down Bubba and so he can get his job in the mornings.
22:08
That's what the big money job is.
22:10
He's got the afternoon job in the same station, so he's got
22:13
him. It's a win win.
22:14
So that's why he doesn't he probably don't really care.
22:16
It's like, you know, get some money out of the deal and we're
22:18
going to take Bubba down. That's probably why he involved
22:21
himself. That's my opinion.
22:23
I forgot that wrinkle. He go from making you know, you
22:26
know, 100 grand a year probably or two, you know, to, you know,
22:29
5 or 600,000 a year, you know, I mean that's a big, that's a big
22:31
jump or something. You know it's worth throwing
22:33
somebody under a bus. That you don't like already if.
22:36
You roll that way? Yeah, I don't roll that way.
22:39
I couldn't do that. Yeah.
22:40
It's just like that's a bad karma comes back and bites you
22:44
in the ass. Oh, every time it.
22:45
Opens gonna start to happen now. You know, it should.
22:49
I thought it was going to happen with the Erica deal.
22:51
I really thought that was like, I watched that again today.
22:54
I was just watching that video of him pushing her.
22:56
And then it's like how how that happened.
22:58
It's like, dude, I don't know how they think that's
23:00
acceptable. You know what I mean?
23:02
Like Travis Kelsey gave a not Travis, but Jason Kelsey.
23:06
Is it Jason Kelsey? Yeah.
23:07
Gave a way more serious apology to a person that deserved it way
23:12
less than what my Kelta gave to Erica.
23:15
I was listening to that apology last night.
23:17
It was like he's just apologized for his behavior and he's to
23:19
respond better. Even that guy came up with him,
23:22
you know, calling him, you know. Yeah, you can't do that.
23:24
And stuff. He grabbed his phone and slammed
23:26
his phone. Well, she didn't even do that.
23:29
She was just interviewing him. He asked her to interview him
23:31
and she's talking to him. And then his apology was so half
23:34
assed that next Monday morning, Oh my God, I'm sorry.
23:37
Some events happen over the weekend and obviously it is
23:39
better. I'm a better person.
23:40
I should be. So I just want to let you know
23:42
I'll be better in the future and I'll be going anyway.
23:44
Happy Monday morning. That was his apology.
23:45
It was very, I could just read a script.
23:47
You know, it's like very over the top reading a script.
23:49
It's like, dude, he's not sorry for that.
23:51
He's not sorry for his behavior. Not at all.
23:53
He's, he's just, he's not a good person, you know what I mean?
23:56
He's just not. Like, not on any levels, by the
23:58
way, Yeah. I know.
23:59
Yeah, he blocked me too. I'm the only person that's
24:01
blocked. The only person that's blocked
24:02
me is him. So.
24:03
Yeah, he's the only person that I'm aware of that has blocked us
24:07
as well. But finishing that time, yeah, I
24:10
ain't worried about that dude, man, whatever.
24:12
Not at all. But finishing that timeline off,
24:14
though, it's it wasn't until September the second at 2000 was
24:21
2014, the bubble was finally let go of Cox, you know, So it took
24:25
a while dude, before bubble got fired.
24:28
They just didn't renew his contract after that, you know,
24:30
let him go or whatever. It was all due to this that was
24:32
just this slow work and this methodical breakdown and beat
24:35
down that they did. And then in July, like I said,
24:38
that's when you know that that six tape was, you know, portion
24:41
of it that was disseminated that was shed a really negative light
24:45
there on on Hogan. So anyway, again, the the
24:49
interesting thing that I found was that this sex tape was I
24:52
thought it was shopped to begin with and then it it couldn't
24:55
sell it. So then after it wasn't shopped,
24:57
then right after that is when it was sent to Gawker.
25:00
But it was sent to Gawker in the beginning.
25:01
And that's the part that I missed somewhere along the way.
25:04
Yeah, that just shows Couch's involvement in both, both
25:07
aspects of it 100%. Like it's just, well, that.
25:09
Drives the price up. That drives the price up.
25:12
Yeah, yeah. That's.
25:13
Because that proves that everybody it's there.
25:16
Whoa, crap. Everybody's attention now.
25:18
Let's let it build, then we'll. Yeah.
25:20
Yeah. It's so crazy that it just, this
25:25
is kind of flowing under the radar.
25:27
There's still so much dust about.
25:30
It's just like a big old ruffle of yeah, it looks like it
25:33
Peanuts with the dusty dude. What's his name?
25:37
Crap, what's his name? That would.
25:38
Oh, peanuts. Pig pen.
25:39
Pig pen, Yes. Yeah, when Pig Pen comes in,
25:42
that's like, that's what this whole situation reminds.
25:44
Squiggly lines. Little.
25:46
Yes, squiggly. Lines like if they all walk into
25:48
the room at the same time, there's Kalta, he's pig pen over
25:52
there just ready to stir shit up and just as a dirty, filthy pig
25:57
of an animal. And at the end of the day, is
26:01
what you're saying, Blasey, he just wanted a promotion.
26:06
It did by any means necessary by.
26:09
Any means what about what about when the presidential elections
26:13
and all the elections are over in the there's a lot more
26:15
commercial space on television again.
26:18
They start running the Tampa area.
26:20
A lot of somebody, some Bubba Army with some pockets, go make
26:24
some commercials explaining how he's a piece of crap and what he
26:29
did and, and show pictures of him in the worst light and run
26:34
some commercials and then like get a couple billboards downtown
26:37
and stuff. Put on a put on a show to expose
26:41
him. Basically.
26:41
That's what's got to happen. Somebody's being dirtbag.
26:43
They'll get exposed. It'll be now or it'll be like
26:45
5-10 years from now. It'll be like a digging back
26:48
into it and somebody and turns out, Oh yeah, and then he'll
26:51
admit to it right before he croaks.
26:53
Look, I know there has to be a lot of Lamar signs, Lamar Fine
26:57
sign company headquartered here in Baton Rouge, LA.
27:00
I know they have to be everywhere out there.
27:04
Hell, a billboard saying it just starting to Dick on Calta would
27:09
be amazing. It goes a long way in.
27:12
Traffic. It would be, it would be,
27:13
wouldn't it? Like, yeah, just kind of fire
27:15
the campaign. Up if then a few people start
27:17
thinking about it and they start Google what happened.
27:19
They're like, oh, his employee took the tape and that's where
27:21
it came from. And then they're it helps.
27:23
It actually helps everybody as far as you know, ratings.
27:26
And, well, you know, what's about, you know, what's about to
27:28
help that situation a little bit.
27:30
I'm hoping. And I know Bubba's hoping.
27:32
I know Bubba's hoping. It's a documentary that's in the
27:36
very, very, very near future. They're finalizing like they're
27:39
the final, final process of this.
27:41
Yet the whole Bubba and back to the Hogan deal.
27:44
The whole deal is a big Hogan. I mean, it's a big Bubba
27:47
documentary about this whole situation.
27:49
Yeah, man, that's so hopefully and I'm sure they will do it
27:53
right. So it's a heck of a story to
27:54
tell, man, because it's just so many like what?
27:57
And so like, how do you simplify and put it into like small
28:00
pieces that you can digest and understand?
28:03
That's the hard part. Even me or not just me.
28:05
I'm just saying like it took me this long to even realize that
28:08
the, you know, a sequence of order that I've missed out on.
28:11
Like I just, you know what I mean?
28:12
Just because it's dude, it's, it's very complex.
28:14
I I mean, I don't know of anyone that has ever broken this down.
28:18
This is how the whole thing started with how we got
28:22
introduced to Bubba and how Bubba found us and why we're
28:25
even y'all are even hearing us right now.
28:27
That's true is because of Blasey a year over a year ago and his
28:32
knowledge of this story. And I mean he's had over a year
28:36
to do more research. It's always mind.
28:38
Blowing more of my just the intrigue than my knowledge was
28:41
OK. My intrigue was just through the
28:42
roof. You know, like that's.
28:43
Oh, for sure, for sure. But today was a pivotal, pivotal
28:49
moment, Election Day as this is being recorded a lot going on
28:54
and then Bubba throws this out. We had a whole other plan of
28:59
what we were going to talk about had to do with just total 180
29:04
and, and, and here we are. It's unbelievable that it just,
29:09
I think we're getting closer and closer.
29:13
And when that documentary comes out, what about the movie with
29:16
Ben Affleck? I mean, you know that too.
29:18
There's so many more layers to this onion to peel back.
29:23
And as our good friend Bobby John says, always have an onion
29:33
just to bring it back. You can't trust nobody that got
29:35
no onion. You can't trust nobody if you
29:37
ain't got an onion. There's a lot, a lot of layers
29:40
to this onion. That there it is.
29:42
You do. Such a great job of doing that
29:44
place. I'm sorry, I'm just got to give
29:46
you props. You came prepared tonight.
29:48
No, I appreciate it. It was I worked on the I'm I'm.
29:51
Still just trying to work it out in my head because man, that is
29:54
an intriguing story and it's really sad on a lot of levels.
29:59
And it all comes back to greed, like most things do.
30:02
And, you know, it's just sad for everybody because, you know, the
30:07
only people they're going to win when no matter what happens now
30:10
is the lawyers, you know, that's the only people they're going to
30:13
make money out of the deal. Everybody's going to lose money.
30:15
Everybody's already lost sleep and time and friends and loved
30:19
ones probably over it. And you know, it's just a sad
30:23
scenario really. But I hope the truth comes out
30:26
and they can get to the bottom of it because the brass tacks
30:29
about is someone took someone else's personal belongings and
30:33
went out to gain profit over those.
30:35
And as far as I know, that's stealing, you know?
30:37
It is stealing and and they destroyed lives in order to try
30:41
to, I'm saying, you know, to do this.
30:43
And that's just like, man, that's just a damn shame.
30:46
You know it is. Pitiful.
30:47
It is. I'm glad the stories anymore
30:49
talk about. I'm looking forward to that
30:52
documentary like you were telling magazine.
30:54
Me too man, nice digestive wait for.
30:56
Everybody to get all the info. Yeah, thanks for bringing us up
30:59
to speed because I'm glad I know that now I'm going to check in
31:03
this week. Yeah.
31:05
Interesting. It will be.
31:07
I'm sure it will be. Blasey, I wanted to know did you
31:11
had, do you have any more thoughts?
31:12
On that. That's it.
31:14
I think that's it. That's it.
31:15
You know, like that kind of lays it all out there and making sure
31:18
I didn't miss anything. That's it.
31:21
Yep, that's it. We got it.
31:23
Let's hit on, let's hit on something else that happened
31:26
this week. Y'all get it?
31:29
A full checking in with the BRN. That's what this episode's got.
31:33
Yeah. For sure.
31:37
I don't know if you saw this, I know that you didn't Jr. but
31:41
Blasey may have seen a little bit of it.
31:43
But Jean, Mother effing Lasker. Dude.
31:47
He is so awesome. I didn't know who he was six
31:51
months ago, whenever he first started reappearing, whenever it
31:54
was. I don't know how long it's been,
31:56
but it's been recent. And good God, that guy has.
32:01
It's like just a never ending story from a childhood that was
32:07
troubled to say the least, to where we're where we're at
32:14
today. But is is it becoming a thing
32:17
now? Blasey, He's going to be on like
32:18
basically every Friday. Yeah, he rotates in, I think
32:21
once a month at least. I know he's in there and that
32:23
chair, yeah, he comes in. So he's just got, I mean, just
32:28
crazy. Just a crazy.
32:29
He's like, he's no different. Some of these characters that I
32:33
grew up with, I'm gonna say no different.
32:34
There's some unbelievable characters that I grew up with.
32:37
Background, you know, from it's hard to like, how do you package
32:40
it and set it into a studio? You know, I mean, he's got the
32:42
ability to do that because he's got all that crazy stories, but
32:45
can actually sit there and talk about it too.
32:46
And like, yeah, he's he has something else.
32:48
Dude, you know, he's great. Dude, it's so good.
32:53
And yeah, did you there was that one part?
32:57
What? What was that they were talking
32:58
about this week last time he was on?
33:00
Oh, with that cooler thing. Yes.
33:05
So yeah, Gene apparently invented a solar cooler because
33:12
he he's a race car driver. OK, Yeah, he like he he's dirt.
33:17
Track race car driver and all the legend down there in
33:21
Florida, Yeah. He is.
33:23
He's a Sprint car legend. Well, this is, shoot, I don't
33:26
remember how. I think it was like 2004 or
33:29
something. It was probably like 20 years
33:30
ago that this happened and somehow or another he got on the
33:36
new well, there's no somewhere or another.
33:38
It was this Walmart deal. Walmart had this nationwide
33:42
thing that anybody who that you could apply, they're going to
33:47
get you on the shelf, something like that, you know, whatever it
33:50
was. Called Make a Wish for an
33:52
Inventor for Walmart. That's basically what.
33:54
It was, it was Shark Tank before Shark Tank existed, is what it
33:57
was. Yes, it was, yeah.
33:58
And so whatever, whatever the product was, that one was going
34:03
to go out on the shelf and, you know, go in all the Walmarts and
34:07
and and make a killing. This is what was going to
34:10
happen. So they had this contest, he
34:13
explains. Kind of the numbers and how many
34:16
people. But Gene had made it to the end,
34:19
like they were in the final ten with this Solar cooler and I,
34:25
I've got a clip. I've got the clip.
34:28
I'm not. Sure.
34:29
Where they start when he's on the television station or in the
34:31
studio. Yeah, yeah.
34:33
I don't know if it's the full on clip but it's definitely them
34:36
talking about it and I think it's worth.
34:39
I think it's so it's bumping them, breaking it down too,
34:41
right? Yeah, let's just, let's just
34:43
watch this and then we'll we'll fill in the blank.
34:45
And there's some I mean they went for 2020 minutes, so I
34:48
don't know if I have. That's great.
34:50
I think this is going to be AI think this is a good starting
34:53
point. Yeah, this kind of explains Gene
34:56
kind of explains it here. And I've got time stamps for
35:00
this so. You go.
35:02
Ahead, Walmart had the top the top invention product would go
35:06
would would Walmart would take it from you and let you put I
35:10
mean. Walmart would distribute it,
35:11
right? Well, so.
35:12
That's what we were trying to do.
35:13
So this local dude who doesn't have the charisma the Gene does,
35:19
got Gene to be the face of this invention, and I knew it.
35:23
So I called Lasker out on it, and that's why he was mad at me.
35:26
I'm like, Gene, this isn't your invention.
35:28
This is Brian or Fred's or whatever the guy's name.
35:31
Is Mark. But it was because, see, Mark
35:33
was dealing with heated steering wheels.
35:36
OK, he was. He built.
35:38
He invented some heated steering wheel.
35:39
Covers he invented He has invented 50 things right, but he
35:43
put them out, none of which I had the.
35:44
Bag. I had the bag with something in
35:47
it and I put the battery. I hooked the battery up
35:49
backwards and I'm hooking the battery up backwards.
35:51
It made cold, didn't make heat, and it made the bad cold.
35:55
Figured. It out.
35:56
That's cool. Then I told him.
35:58
I said, hey, man, that's that's, you know, let's make this do
36:01
this. So anyway, listen, so Laser's
36:03
been on a bat, on a motor, on an outlaw mission for two days and
36:08
Mark calls him up and says. You got to make the radio
36:11
station I got. My invention booked on a couple
36:16
TV stations, but I I'm just, and Mark's not a real flashy guy,
36:21
just kind of a like he doesn't have any charisma or, and don't
36:25
even know they could speak that well on TV.
36:28
So he tells Lasker, hey, we're going to say that you invented
36:31
it. It's your invention.
36:33
You have so much charisma. People love you and your full
36:37
redneck hillbilly type deal, so you're going to be the face of
36:41
it. And so I called, and since I
36:43
knew the Iggy on the deal, I just wanted to see how Lasker
36:47
did. So here it is.
36:49
Here and Gene, I know you because of the Sprint car
36:52
connection that you have. You're you're of Sprint car fame
36:54
in this area. Because of me.
36:57
I mean, at the end of the day, this guy's never been.
37:00
He just listened to my show and knew that you were a Sprint car
37:03
guy. You would at least agree to
37:04
that, right? Yeah, but I had to win to be the
37:07
Sprint car guy. I know that, I know that.
37:09
But you know, you know he, he was familiar with you from my
37:12
show. Here we go.
37:14
How did you come across this lunch?
37:15
Box idea because the racing I come across that I what I was
37:18
trying to do is design a cool suit cheap the cool suits are
37:22
very expensive and I was. Alaska completely lying.
37:26
Oh my God. This is when we were telling he
37:32
was going through his Edward Scissorhand phase.
37:36
Yeah, Gene's gone through different phases.
37:38
And so and so. Listen, Gene will admit it now.
37:43
He's first of all, look at him. He's, he's either high, he's,
37:48
he's completely zooted out. He's completely, he's been, he's
37:51
been on the road riding a chopper for 2 1/2 days.
37:55
He's completely zooted out and he's lying.
37:58
I know when he's lying. I know when he's telling a tall
38:01
tale. I've known the guy for 30 years.
38:04
He's been on and off one of my best friends for 30 years.
38:08
And I can tell when he's just shucking and jiving bullshit and
38:13
lying. And this he did.
38:15
This didn't come, Brian. I'm sorry, Mark.
38:19
Mark came up with this technology and didn't have the
38:23
charisma to be on Channel 28. So Gene just starts making stuff
38:27
up. Listen.
38:28
Cool suit. The cool suits are very
38:30
expensive and I was messing around with some race car
38:33
components that cool. And change.
38:35
So you like completely lying, completely lying right here,
38:39
Completely lying and. Gadgets on the race car and I
38:43
put one together and I was going to sew them into my suit and
38:46
this is the original bag. This is my baby.
38:49
It was just sitting there on the seat and.
38:52
Which is a brand new bag that did that.
38:54
Mark just bought a Target 3 days ago.
38:58
If you look at that bag, it has zero wear on it.
39:01
Yeah, but you? See the bottom left hand side
39:03
right there where we already cut it out and sewed in the how?
39:06
Many drinks, would that hold? Like 4 in the truck.
39:09
I didn't want nothing to get messed up, so I, you know, I
39:12
unzipped the top, I threw it in there and there was some Tootsie
39:14
rolls there and I. Every part of every part of
39:19
Jeans pitch. I think he was on two different
39:22
television stations. Think might have been on 10 too.
39:25
But he always used Tootsie Rolls, like that's 'cause that
39:28
happened, you know, 'cause I, I threw him in the bag and they
39:30
were sent on my dashboard getting soft.
39:33
Gee, you don't gotta sell us. And I threw him in the bag and
39:35
they got, they got they went back to regular.
39:37
So I just threw him in the back. No one see him.
39:38
And those two girls were melting, right?
39:40
They were melted. Up in the dash.
39:42
Florida Sun. I mean, I opened one up.
39:43
I had to like, eat it off the paper and I put him in the bag.
39:46
And a few hours later I reached into one and it was it was very
39:50
cold. How exactly does this very?
39:57
Cool. I mean, it just goes, it goes on
39:59
from there, but. Oh my God, I want to say I got
40:03
to watch that guy just do the spill now that I know it's a
40:06
lie. Oh yeah, yeah, I mean.
40:09
Yes, you have to go. It's one of the funniest things
40:13
I think I've ever seen. Oh, that's great, dude.
40:16
That was the 80s, but that was 2004.
40:19
It was 2. 1000 still. Rocking down here, Edward
40:21
Scissor. Edward Scissor And you know
40:25
that's a redneck from Florida. It was old Florida, Florida.
40:28
I used to. I grew up loving right there
40:30
buddy. Permed it was permed perm high
40:35
tide. Man, Dan for riding that hog.
40:38
Oh my God that's hilarious. I love it.
40:42
I do too. I mean, that's great.
40:44
That's so good. That's how Bubba had to put
40:46
himself over the only reason he knew about him.
40:48
Because of Bubba. Oh yeah, of course, yeah.
40:52
No wonder Bubba and Hogan were friends.
40:55
Oh yeah. But they did try to put each
40:58
other over and over each other all the time, I'm sure.
41:01
You know, it was me, brother. That's what was bringing him to
41:03
the show, man. I mean you can go on and.
41:08
On who's going to play Bubba in the documentary is the biggest
41:11
question I have. Jelly roll?
41:12
Great. Question.
41:12
Oh, Jelly Roll can probably do a great.
41:14
Job. He's tall though.
41:15
How tall is Bubb? He's not.
41:17
That ain't tall. I mean, let's not.
41:19
Well, it doesn't matter. Because a lot of times they have
41:21
rest. No, now Bubba is not his Bubba
41:24
Jelly roll. That ain't right.
41:26
I got to stop y'all there. I was.
41:28
Talking about a that celebrity I.
41:30
Just figured a big. Salon Bubble's big dude Bubble's
41:32
about 500 lbs one time. Yeah, I was just thinking about
41:35
a nod he got. Monstrous.
41:36
He had. He had to let his girlfriend
41:38
wipe his ass. Oh, my God.
41:40
Yeah, it got bad there for him for a minute.
41:42
Yeah, he got out of control. Yeah, they pulled it way back
41:44
in. All right, OK.
41:45
Well, I've never known some. Bubba to be like that, and
41:48
that's OK. I mean, you know.
41:50
Oh yeah, that happens. You've got to have a towel when
41:52
you get to that point. That's interesting, yeah.
41:55
It's tough. Hey girl, get on in here.
41:58
Booty. Don't mind, I got something,
42:00
hey. I need some help in here hey.
42:03
Hey, guys. Because I did see, I thought I
42:06
saw something recently that was one of the big stars.
42:09
Now that's an action star now. Can't think of exactly which
42:11
one. It was dressed up as Hogan
42:13
holding the belt in the yellow and gold on a, on a social media
42:19
post or something. And I don't know if that's part
42:21
of that or is there supposed to be a movie coming out or is that
42:24
just somebody? I don't think, I don't think
42:25
anything's been filmed. I don't think we've seen it.
42:29
If I'm sure something has been filmed, let me reel that back.
42:33
We haven't seen anything that's been like they haven't given us.
42:37
That I'm aware of. I don't know, I think.
42:39
Whoever whoever directed the wrestler should direct all
42:42
wrestling movies. I agree.
42:45
With wrestler. A great job with wrestling.
42:48
Yeah, Wrestling these days, too is just like they got it, you
42:53
know, they know what works it. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
42:57
They have their own thing of stuff outside people like
43:00
whoever did the movie The Wrestler, that was a well done
43:03
movie. Yeah.
43:04
These direct wrestling movies for the the recent one, the Von
43:06
Eric the Iron Claw, I thought it was good but think about that
43:10
watched it. Oh really?
43:11
It was great. I hadn't seen it yet.
43:13
It's good. Oh, man, it's great.
43:14
Yeah, but the and it and it uses the characters though.
43:16
They were playing Kevin Von Eric, you know, it's a big guy.
43:18
Anyway, I thought it's funny how they do that.
43:21
And then when they get a big guy and then when they cast
43:24
Incredible Hulk, they go, they go CG and I'm like just get the
43:29
biggest, there's guys that are 7 foot £500 monsters.
43:32
Muscles get that guy to be the Incredible Hulk.
43:34
Weird. Have a cast.
43:35
A rare breed. I say all that to say, that's
43:38
why I mentioned Jelly Roll was just a big hot person to cast.
43:42
I was just thinking outside the box as as a big guy and I'll
43:45
say, well, he's tall. I'm just thinking a bigger guy.
43:47
You know, that was really hot right now.
43:48
And I and I stand with a big. Personality too, and a big
43:51
personality he could. Well, that would do it, right?
43:53
Yeah, because who would be the standard issue actor that that
43:58
would play a a guy like that? Kevin James?
44:00
I mean, who who you going to get to play Bubble?
44:02
You know what I'm saying? Oh, Kevin, I think Doug, you
44:06
could do it. That might be a really challenge
44:08
role for him, but I think he could.
44:09
Sean Payton was not his role, but I think he could definitely
44:13
do Bubba. Yeah, I think he could.
44:15
That was the. Worst Sean Payton you could ever
44:17
have, but I thought he did a good job.
44:19
That movie wasn't terrible, to be fair.
44:22
It wasn't terrible, but it was just like.
44:24
You get to be Doctor Dan if they have a, if he's in the in the
44:28
movie at all, Lacey, you get to play Doctor Dan.
44:31
Oh, OK. I mean, that sounds good.
44:34
If y'all are listening to this, if you see this, get on the mic
44:38
OK? I'll be interested to.
44:44
Listen to this Blossy. The one man posse just gave the
44:48
greatest Doctor Dan impersonation.
44:50
Y'all can watch this on YouTube as well next week.
44:55

45:04
mic. Over here we do get like like
45:07

45:11
it, while it's fresh on my mind, Tiggy, what is the number that
45:15
the Army needs to call and leave us voicemails so we can
45:18
communicate and answer some questions and talk to those
45:21
folks? That is a great question and I'm
45:24
glad you asked. That number is 225-800-3058.
45:31
That is 225-800-3058. Call us.
45:37
Leave us a voicemail. You never know, it may show up
45:42
on the show. So yeah, thanks for the.
45:45
Tigsbeards hotline. I remember, remember back in the
45:48
day that, you know, we were on wrestling because it's the Hogan
45:51
sex tape that's, that's driving this conversation.
45:53
Remember back they, they used to have the, the, the hotlines you
45:55
could call in and talk to a wrestler per SE or whatever.
45:58
I remember they used to show those commercials.
46:00
They'd have telethons and they and it was like the this is back
46:03
when you had to pay for long distance.
46:05
I know people now, young folks don't know that, but there was a
46:07
time when long distance deal was a big deal and for sure you had
46:11
to get calling cards. And I mean, they could run it up
46:14
and you had to ask. It would say their thing was ask
46:16
your parents permission before you call and you would call for
46:19
two. You would, you would think you
46:20
if you, you know, you had a plan like if I stay on 45 seconds,
46:23
not a minute, so they won't charge me.
46:24
So you call and then your parents are like, Hey, what is
46:26
this 499 or 299 call on the on the phone bill And you're like,
46:33
it says it says junkyard dog hotline.
46:36
You call the junkyard dog. I was like.
46:38
Baby. Yeah, they had so many ways back
46:42
then to scam money off I. Remember all those I remember
46:45
there? Yes, I remember.
46:46
This is free. Y'all call the call the Tigs.

47:28
shows, if there's a point when and you were like, you want to

54:46
person that's that I interview. Or at least I can tell you that
54:50
it's going to be a home crowd. But that's why we have Blasey
54:53
Blasey to give the other point of view.
54:56
Maybe some this week 'cause it ain't coming from Tiggy not.
55:00
Maybe you should break you should get does he if he doesn't
55:03
know the bubble bubble stuff, You should tell him what you
55:06
told us Blasey, and then get his reaction at coming from a lawyer
55:10
standpoint on what he thinks each lawyer was up to and where
55:13
he think the. Twist.
55:14
Oh yeah, maybe. And lay out the case and let's
55:16
get his hope. Well, how would someone we.

55:22
Long and do it. Do it.
55:25
Will enshrine him as a as a judge.
55:27
He's just, he's just an election away from being one, right in
55:29
the experience he has. And you know what I mean, right,
55:32
Judge Lawrence, Hell. Yeah, we know a couple of you
